MGM·Lion	Same verses in same song (24)	RE: Same verses in same song	16 Jun 16
"songs often make a very good point effectively" .,,., Indeed. And a final slight departure from the incremental repetition that has become anticipated can have a profound and telling dramatic effect -- like that "Yes I have brought you gold", instead of the "No I have not brought you gold" from all the other relations, when "my true-love" at last appears at the end of Child #95 to Free the Maid from the Gallows. I have literally known non-folkie audiences sigh with relief at that point - tho admittedly not that often! (I would also remark that the title is a pity; a spoiler for the punchline, innit!) ≈M≈
